Alex Jones’ second defamation trial over his “hoax” lies about the Sandy Hook massacre has entered its fourth week in Connecticut court.
The Infowars host had been expected to return to the stand on Wednesday as a witness for the defence - after his first turn on the witness stand last month descended into a shouting match in front of jurors and crying victim families.
But speaking to reporters outside the courthouse on Tuesday, Jones said he is “strongly considering” pleading the fifth amendment because he claimed the judge wants to throw him in jail for telling the truth.
“I tell the judge and all the rest of the New World Order: I am innocent, and you are guilty of tyranny,” he said.
After the jury was sent home, Jones’ attorney Norm Pattis revealed that he does not expect Jones to testify at all tomorrow.
It came after jurors heard from three Sandy Hook parents who told how their lives were irreparably changed by Jones’ lies.
